Imperialist powers step up intervention in Yemen

8 June 2011

As fighting between pro- and anti-government forces continues in Yemen, the major powers are maneuvering to secure their interests in the strategically vital country.

Since mass protests broke out in January against the rule of President Ali Abdullah Saleh, an estimated 400 people have died in clashes between state security forces and groups opposed to the regime. Most of those killed have been civilian protesters gunned down by Saleh security forces in the capital, Sanaa, and other cities.

After decades of backing Saleh’s authoritarian regime, Washington has moved against their former ally in an effort to maintain US authority in the region and prevent the spread of unrest to neighboring Saudi Arabia.
